Strange cut
I received the jacket a week ago. I can't complain about the material or the quality. The jacket looks like it should be a great addition to my wardrobe. However, when I button it up, the jacket does not fall or drape nicely on me. It could be just me - I am pear-shaped. The jacket is too roomy on the top and droops over in the chest. It is snug at the hips so instead of falling or flowing, it holds at the hips and just droops on the top. Leaving the buttons open, the jacket hangs quite nicely.
The arms are too long. A petite arm length would probably have worked - but I do not like short jackets. I got this in exchange for the All Seasons Blazer which had the same issue - just a little worse. I will keep this jacket despite the fit. But I will not be getting any more jackets from TS. The cut of the jackets just do not suit my body type :( Too bad for me because the concept of a comfortable blazer that won't wrinkle is great.
Can't really say whether it runs small or large ... it is too large on top and snug at the hips..

Not travel worthy for me
I had high hopes but when this arrived, it was quite wrinkled. I tried it on and it looked OK so I hung it up I for over a week to see how it would loosen up. I almost got out my steamer but wanted to see what would happen on a trip! The wrinkles never shook out. The lapels were also pressed incorrectly (I used to make sport coats for my husband so I know tailoring) so when buttoned, they didn't overlap right. I didn't want to be bothered trying to fix it.
The other thing was weight. It is not what I call light weight. It was actuly quite heavy on the hanger.
The fabric was beautiful and felt great. Just wish it hadn't been so wrinkled.
I bought a size that is normally generous on me. The sleeves were a tiny bit snug with a blouse or thin turtleneck but it would do.
Sadly, I returned it this week.
The search continues for the perfect lightweight travel blazer.

Nothing more than double knit
I had grand hopes for this blazer being professional looking and good for the work environment as well as travel. Not so. The material is heavy and bulky; nothing more than 1970s double knit. The blazer arrived wrinkled. After hanging for several days, the wrinkles persist which indicates to me that it will be a wrinkled mess if packed in a suitcase. TS used to carry really wonderful, wrinkle-resistant blazers that fit well and were made with contemporary materials. Please bring those back. This blazer and the all-seasons blazer are both big disappointments.

Not Well Packed
This ponte blazer fits well, however I haven't decided whether to keep it. Because it was not packed carefully, I can't get the lapels to lie evenly. When I order from Nordstrom's, dresses, jackets, etc., come on a hanger. I can take them righ tout of the box and wear them. Not this jacket. Also the shade of blue is rather odd. Won't ever find anything to match it. It would be a good weight to wear all year 'round here.

The poise of a blazer meets the ease
of a knit in our notch-collar ponte jacket. Its casual, open-front style complements dress pants and jeans, and since it's ponte, it packs without a wrinkle. Two welt pockets with one faux ...
